Looks like the only thing she’s really ‘from’ is The Daily Show, other then that, just a lot of one off stuff and “I love the 80’s/90’s/etc” type stuff
She’s from all those I Love The. . . on MTV! I knew I recognized her from somewhere.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch. . . you know what I find especially funny about this show? The throw-away lines. When CeCe confessed she’d never seen her fiancee’s manhood, one of her ditzy model friends says off-camera, “What if it looks like a carrot?” During Schmitz’s flashback when Nick says he was going to see Dave Mathews, Winston snorts “White people!” and the booing of the guy with the guitar. It’s the little touches that crack me right the hell up.
I really loved the way that you could hear the other people booing, laughing, and commenting during the flashbacks in this episode. It made it feel more like someone was actually telling a story to a group of friends, rather than it being just a set of standard flashbacks.
This is why I love this show. No lesser personage than Rob Reiner voiced exactly what I was thinking about Nick. I felt bad for him but it was all true.
Poor Wilson, but nice telescope! 
As a Nick Miller without the outgoing personality, I’m waiting for my manic pixie housemate to fall into my life… Also, maybe it was just the shiny HD but I thought they really uglied up Merritt Weaver… 
That should be the end of this silly little dalliance. This show is useful and interesting and funny when Nick and Jess aren’t an item, and it’s dangerously close to shark-jumping territory. Schmidt is the best of the group, Nick used to be a solid second banana, and Winston is under-developed and under-written as a character.
I think the show has an interesting ceiling, and it hits an interesting demographic as well. This entire roommate-become-lovers thing has to end, though. Ugh.
I love the romance. Cooler and Virgins were the two best episodes of the whole series because of the romance. Plus it gives more chances for Schmidt and Winston scenes like going to the projects to buy crack and trying to hire homeless men to break up the romance.
I hope we see more of Curtis Armstrong as the boring Principal. He was excellent!
Schmidt is the best written character in the whole show, and he’s been relegated to B-list plotlines pretty much this whole season. They even had a clean out for this relationship when Jess’s dad said that Nick reminded him of himself, and how he was useless. I’d hope that would have, you know, shocked Jess into stopping it and shocked Nick into realizing that he’s done. At best, all we can hope for is that there is no actual “romance” and over, now that they’ve bumped uglies.
This show was pretty damned good for most of the first season, but has been teetering on the edge recently.
I’m one of the grown women who loves Nick but I can’t explain it. That first date episode was just awkward, though. The scenes with Schmidt and Winston were funny, but the scenes with Nick and Jess didn’t feel right.
Correct, and I hate Schmidt. Cannot stand that guy for so many reasons, yet he is easily the most interesting character and probably the only reason I’m still watching. Or maybe because last season, a scene with Schmidt was as a scene with Cici and I could watch her read the phone book.
Poor Winston has been relegated to ‘token wisecracking black guy’ status which has almost killed the show for me. Winston is an extra in Schmidt’s B-list plotlines.
Didn’t see this posted, but it encapsulates my views entirely (basically the relegating of Jess & Schmidt allowed the show to become a more ensemble show and thus better - though they could have more stuff for Winston to do; I think they still miss Coach):
I need to find that dress Jess wore in Winston’s Birthday.
My big worry is: Where are they going to get all the funny stories? At least one third of the hilarity came from the all the boyfriends, girlfriends and friends-with-benefits that paraded through that loft.
Reason one you don’t do what they did with Nick and Jess.
